  17.  @poohw5057  Did you actually read the IWG report? Because if you did, that wasn't the conclusion of the report. Read the Preface section starting on page 11, the Preface says that many of the original records were returned to Japan, and in addition it says that few records of Japan's war crimes were still classified by the U.S., most had been de-classified already. Here's a snippet of the Preface starting from page 12- "Among the disappointed will be those who had hoped for a voluminous release of U.S. records relating to Japanese war crimes.....The IWG uncovered and released few Asian theatre records because few such U.S. records remained classified. Unclassified records were not under IWG jurisdiction.....NARA archivists attest that the real problem with Japanese documents from World War II is not that they are few in number, but that they are largely underused by researchers. To encourage the full review of these records, the IWG published Researching Japanese War Crimes: Introductory Essays....We are confident that records exist that will present in time a very clear picture of the scope and horrors of war crimes in Asia before and during World War II. We very much hope that Researching Japanese War Crimes will spur the research and scholarship necessary to achieve this end." So to summarize, the IWG report didn't prove conclusive, because few classified records were uncovered. It didn't disprove any known information.
